A screening was made to detect the patients in stage I and II according to the K/ DOQI Clinical Practice for Guidelines Chronic Kidney [1]. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) was ascertained according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula (MDRD-4). Glomerular damage (proteinuria and/or haematuria) was determined by dipstick, sequential urinalysis was made in 3 consecutive months, when proteinuria was detected to confirm the result the albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) was determined, microalbuminuria was defined as ACR > 3 mg/ mmol.
